LG Optimus 3D Max P720

Today we’ll be reviewing the LG Optimus 3D Max P720. The LG Optimus 3D Max P720 is part of a series of 3D phones from LG. Now I’m not exactly sure whether or not they are any different one from another or if it’s just the same phone with a different, re-branded name. However, what I do know for sure, is that you rarely see a phone with such power ( since it’s relatively powerful, and perhaps the most powerful of the LG Optimus 3D series ) and a 3D screen to boot. Now how would you actually use a 3D screen in your daily life is beyond me, however, there is bound to be some people that want this.

You can get LG Optimuz 3D Max from Amazon.

Anyway, without wasting any more time with intros, let’s begin this little review.

GENERAL

We’ll start by looking at the general aspects of the LG Optimus 3D Max P720. Here you can find out a bit of info about the supported networks and the announcement and release dates. The LG Optimus 3D Max P720 supports both 2G and 3G networks. Those networks are as following : GSM 850, GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900 ( the 2G ones ) and HSDPA 900, HSDPA 1900 and HSDPA 2100 ( the 3G ones ). The LG Optimus 3D Max P720 was announced in February 2012 and was released a bit later in May 2012. That’s enough for this part, let us move on to the next one.

BODY

The LG Optimus 3D Max P720 is around 126.8 x 67.4 x 9.6 mm big. The LG Optimus 3D Max P720 also weighs somewhere around 148 grams. Also, this device has Touch-Sensitive Controls instead of buttons. I must say, I much prefer buttons since you never know when your software will lag or crash. In those extreme cases, you’d be glad you don’t have a screen dependent control and have a reliable home button instead. But, to each his own. I just hope what I said doesn’t come to pass on the phones which lack the said buttons. I’ve nothing more to say here, so let us move on.
